Kerry: We Are Running Out Of Time, Possibilities For Peace
WASHINGTON - In his first address to an American Jewish audience as secretary of state on Monday, John Kerry made a passionate case for renewed peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, calling on both sides to "summon the courage" to negotiate.
"We are running out of time," Kerry said. "We are running out of possibilities."
While reassuring the pro-Israel crowd that America would always support and defend the Jewish State, Kerry warned the American Jewish Committee that the status quo in the region was unsustainable.
"A stalemate today will not remain tomorrow," Kerry said. "In this conflict, the simple fact is tomorrow is not guaranteed to look like today."
"The people who think somehow because there is a fence and because theres been greater security and fewer people hurt are lulling themselves into a delusion that that somehow can be sustained," Kerry added, in an allusion to what he referred to as "cynics" on the issue.
